Tragically, Jason Arday has died after a vicious press campaign over the last few weeks. The Govt must urgently launch an inquiry into the rotten culture of the press, and any role it had in his death. Add your name now: hackedoff.org/campaign-actions/demand-an-inquiry-into-the-culture-of-the-press

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

Lovely. And what we now need to collectively shake off is the rightwing determination to tell us what we want and need. They don’t speak for us at all. This result is our voice and it needs to get louder and listened to…
In reality the result was not a victory for sectarianism or "cheating" but for the unity of most voters in the Greater Manchester seat to reject the politics of Reform.
Just as in the recent Caerphilly by-election where an expected Reform win ended up as a decisive victory for Plaid Cymru instead, voters are starting to show their determination to work together in order to reject Nigel Farage's party and the politics it represents.
The truth is that if such tactical voting is replicated across the country at the next general election then current national opinion polls showing a clear lead for Reform would be unlikely to translate into a parliamentary majority.

Joyful to see Goodwin and Farage having a huge wettie and rightwing media scrabbling around for credibility in the rubble of their cocky predictions and polling.

What we have seen in Gorton and Denton is what we saw in Caerphilly in October. A lot of people really don’t want the hateful politics of Reform and will work hard and smart to try and keep them out. Labour must now listen to this and stop the grim attempts to mimic Farage.

Striking that it is from outside government in the shape of Gordon Brown that a plan is laid out to end the systematic abuse of power revealed by Mandelson scandal.
Much of it derived from Transparency

(Emphasis) Current anti-corruption Tsar Margaret Hodge (emphasis) upgraded to independent parliament appointed anti corruption commission with power to seize assets; controls on political lobbying including 91 peers currently paid to give political advice; existing Ethics and Integrity Commission to be given statutory powers to investigate bank accounts and initiate investigations; public select committee hearings to vet appointment of senior diplomats; end to MPs second jobs (with professional training exceptions) & controls on ministerial private external communications.
Brown says Starmer could introduce a comprehensive bill within 3 months.

Photo of Jenrick and Farage shaking hands, grinning and taking the piss

Robert Jenrick is a fraud and a hypocrite.
That's not just my view, that's the view of one Nigel Farage, who has spent years describing him as everything that is wrong with British politics, only to this week warmly welcome him into Reform UK.How, after this week, will Farage still be able to portray his party as being fresh-faced politicians "telling it like it is" when he has not just invited a washed up liar like Jenrick into his team, but a dishonest tax-dodger like Zahawi.
Is Farage really going to be able to convince the country that Nadine Dorries represents a change from the dishonesty and incompetence voters rejected a year and a half ago? What about Lee Anderson? Or Jonathan Gullis.
And these are just the names we know about at the moment. How many other politicians who served at the top of the worst Conservative Government in British history is Farage likely to welcome in before the next general election?
